Milking took place indoors twice a day, in a barn with the cattle tied by the neck with ropes or held in place by stanchions. Most dairy cattle were pastured during the day between milkings.* Each character can milk 12 cows per day. *Cows can be milked every 12 hours if they are producing milk.* \ *Cows start producing milk after calving.* \ *Production levels peak at around 40-60 days after calving.* \ *Production declines steadily afterwards until milking is stopped at about 10 months.* \ *The cow is "dried off" for about 60 days before calving again.* \ *Within a 12 to 14-month inter-calving cycle, the milking period is about 305 days or 10 months long.* \ *Certain breeds produce more milk than others within a range of around 6,800 to 17,000 kg of milk per year.*
